An Exhibit of paintings, collage and acrylic mixed media on canvas, entitled “Body Language”, A Celebration of the Female Form by Danielle Mailer is featured at The Moviehouse Studio Gallery In Millerton, NY, through July 14, 2005.

The artwork conjures up her Latin-Jewish background in all of its vibrancy and color. The paintings, designating the female as cat, as Goddess, hidden away or center stage, all reflect an intimate landscape. A woman's landscape that promises a Surrealistic terrain of cornucopia, chile peppers, trombones and skulls. A tapestry weave that incorporates personal symbols and narratives dealing with contemporary issues of womanhood, and in a larger scope, issues of modern day society.

Mailer, a teacher at Indian Mountain School, counts Matisse, Kahlo, Chagall, Nolde and Klimt among her influences. She also credits her parents, Peruvian painter Adele Morales, writer Norman Mailer, and jazz musician Peter McEachern as powerful sources of inspiration.

Over the last twelve years Mailer has shown her work in numerous galleries in Connecticut and beyond. Her exhibitions include both group and one woman shows at: Beaux Arts Gallery, Woodbury CT., Bachelor Cardinsky Gallery, Kent CT., The Silo, Washington CT., The Washington Art Association, Washington CT., Ellen Harris Gallery (Provincetown, Ma.), Signatures Gallery, Boston, MA., The Wisdom House, Litchfield CT., and New Arts Gallery, Litchfield, CT. Recently Mailer was invited to showcase her work in a group show in Chelsea, NYC., at the Blue Mountain Gallery. She also last year opened her own gallery in Goshen CT., Danielle Mailer Gallery, where she has an ongoing exhibit of her current work. As former associate art director of Artnews, she has also worked as a graphic designer, and recently sold a painting to Random House Books' to be used for the cover art of the book titled "The Heart of a Family".

Her work is collected by the Rockefeller Foundation and also by the renowned movie director, Milos Forman. She lives in CT. with her partner musician Peter McEachern and their three children.
